[survives]

Yeah, I'll tell them all about it. If they'll believe me! [She laughs again, not really dwelling on it. She won't know till she tries, after all.

A smile at the question.] I thiiiink it's been... Almost three months? Not very long, anyway.

What about you? Has it been a long time?

[redactions]

Three months?

[ That's a worrisome time, wherever she's from he hopes people are looking. ]

Not me, I just got here last week. What about these Atroma? Have you seen or met them?

[survives]

[She huffs out a laugh. Last week, huh? That's not so bad. She's pretty sure she spent her entire first week just being excited.]

Nooot yet. But nobody's really told me that much about them either, you know? I don't... [She crosses her arms, frowning.] I get the feeling it's hard to find out anything about them.

[redactions]

[ He's beginning to think he should've expected that answer, but can't hurt to ask. ]

That's all right. I expect I'll be nosy like most other new folk. They gave me an engineering augment and I'm not exactly equipped to be — [ he gestures, abortively, meaning repair of any kind to the ship. ]

[survives]

[She nods, smiling brightly. Being nosy totally gets her approval here, A+]

It's weird, huh? I thought they were supposed to give us things we could do here, but... [She waves a hand.] A lot of it doesn't make any sense, you know?

[redactions]

[ About as much sense as everything back home, and that alone took some getting used to. Bucky gives her a bright smile, however. ]

What augment do you have?

[survives]

Tactical Support! [She claps her hands together once.] It sounds kinda weird, but at least I think it's something I can do.

[redactions]

It's — [ he raises his eyebrows ] what exactly did you do back home?

[survives]

[She laughs. Well, she probably should have expected that question.] I was... a Hunter.

But. [She waves a hand.] It's totally not as impressive as it sounds! Sometimes we had to fight, but sometimes it was just a lot of odd jobs, you know? Delivery jobs and fixing stuff...

I-I don't know if they have Hunters where you're from, too?

[redactions]

They don't, or at least, if they have 'em, we don't call 'em that.

​​​​[ He frowns at her in thought. ]

What do you have to fight? Or fix? If you don't mind my askin'.

[survives]

[Oh, right, right. If he doesn't recognize the title, then maybe she should have been more specific...]

Um. Different things! And people. Sometimes it's monsters. Or criminals... or terrorists. And if someone asks us to fix something and we can do it, anything, like a machine or something...

[She shrugs.] Then we do it! That's... not weird, is it?
